Trail Riding

Horseng Farm offers trail riding to small groups of 2 to 4. Our horses are mostly trained for the show ring and don't always have an "autopilot" button. Our boarders, leasers, and lesson students may take rides out on the trail, but we usually don't get much of a chance during the summer months with camp and horse shows. For large groups and avid trail riders, we have several recommendations.

Deer Path Riding Stable in the Poconos - 570-443-4431

Haycock Stables in Perkasie - 215-257-6271

Red Buffalo Ranch in Collegeville - 610-489-9707

Boy & Girl Scouts

We have many Scout groups use our facility every year. Most popular of these are those coming for our Horse Lovers Program.This program is designed to allow the scouts to complete all the requirements for their Horse Lovers Badge. Groups participate in a two hour activity with all equipment provided. Other groups of Scouts have come for the entire weekend to concentrate on their riding skills. Set up varies, but the program is usually similar to the riding weekends. Still other groups have included the horses at many different levels with other programs that we have available with our summer camp. Most groups have worked on other badges that individuals have needed in their troop. With many acres of woods, trails and fields, camp fire access, and lots of great horses, the possibilities are endless!

Birthday Parties at the Farm!

Plan The Best Birthday Ever!

Birthdays at our farm are fun for the whole family. Your child and his/her friends will spend time learning about horses, grooming and riding! Our parties give your child hands-on experience with horses and quality time on the farm. You can customize your birthday party according to the age and experience levels of your group. We have had parties with very young children who are doing short pony rides up to teenagers who want a jumping lesson with their friends. Fun ideas include scavenger hunts, needle in the haystack, or playing manhunt in the woods! Usually the parties start at $100 per hour per horse for the "saddle time". We have a fridge, grill, and picnic tables available for your use free of charge. You bring the cake, food, and presents, and we'll do the rest! Long pants, suitable footwear, and parental releases are required. Please call for details.

SEND THEM TO CAMP!!!!!

Horseng Farm is now open for our first spring break camp! This week will be an exceptionally low key week. This time of year, we are very busy working on opening up for summer camp, and getting the extra layer of body fat off our our school string horses (and perhaps, a bit off of us as well). There will be lots and lots of riding! Campers can vote for lessons, drill team, broomstick polo, bareback riding, and practice riding every day, multiple times a day. Vaulting is a possibility as well. Beyond that, I can't promise what you will be doing, but I can promise that you will be kept busy! Campers that came for their spring break at other farms rode two to three times a day, groomed a million (they might have been exaggerating) horses a day, pulled manes, scrubbed buckets and spent A LOT of time teaching the green horses how to jump and do tricks. They also spent an hour or two on several days vaulting, went on at least one trail ride, watched movies during rainy days, and another opted for an afternoon nap! Everyone voted that Spring Break camp was a great success and their riding skills improved greatly.

Tater Tots Program

Tater Tots Summer Camp (one week only) this year will be held June 15 - 19, in two sections - from 9 AM until noon, and from 1 PM to 4 PM (Ages 3 - 6).

Adult Camp at New Meadow Farm

Looking for a horseback riding getaway? We are planning our first ever Adult Camp this year, and I'm thinking a long weekend in Virginia sounds like just the ticket for fun!

Plan a riding weekend when you can enjoy lessons, guided trails, and overnight accommodations at New Meadow.

﻿From September to May, when camps are not in session, rooms in the main house and bunkhouses are available for weekend or overnight stays. This is a great opportunity for mother-daughter weekends and riding vacations!

The date of our getaway has yet to be determined. Talk to Heather if interested.

The Point of the Pony Points!

The idea behind the pony points program is for our students to be able to earn credits towards competitions, field trips, or farm sleepovers. This program helps to assist riders who might not be able to afford these activities otherwise. Points are added for good sportsmanship, stable management, assisting other riders, and even good grades. Points are subtracted for negative attitudes, not cleaning up after your horse, leaving out your tack and equipment, or making a mess in the office. Pony points can be earned during Saturday and Sunday mini-camp days during the year. Talk to Heather for more information on this program.
